Apple TV 4K with HDMI 2.0 (alien.top)

Currently have a Sony Bravia A80J and my two HDMI 2.1 ports are being used by Sonos (eArc) and Xbox Series X and all I have left is one HDMI 2.0 port. Apple TV 4K should still output Dolby Vision with no issues on HDMI 2.0 right? Reason for getting an Apple TV 4K is due to built in Google TV being slow and sluggish. Any advice and recommendations greatly appreciated.

You only need HDMI 2.1 with the ATV if you want Dolby Atmos, and have a sound system capable of it.

HDMI 2.1 isn’t required for Dolby Atmos. Even HDMI 1.3 cables can support Atmos in many cases

Maybe for TrueHD Atmos, but Apple only supports Atmos.

Just make sure you have selected the "Enhanced" format on whichever port you have connected the ATV.
